MEDEF CHAIRED BY G.R DE BEZIEUX ORGANIZES THE MEETING OF FRENCH ENTREPRENEURS

USPA NEWS - The REF 2022 - the Meeting of Entrepreneurs of France, Summer University of Medef press by Geoffroy Roux de Bezieux, will be held on August 29 and 30, 2022 at the Longchamp hypodrome. This gigantic event of the French economy, the REF 2022, or "La Rencontre des Entrepreneurs de France" returns this year, with a much stronger program after the COVID-19 crisis, with more than 150 speakers, 30 debates and keynotes programmed in and outdoors at the Hippodrome Longchamp. The central theme will be focused on: "Euro Visions", ie debates around the After "happy globalization", and facing a world that is divided, again into blocks., given the current geopolitical context and the crisis in energy, inflation which followed the Russo-Urkainian conflict. It will also be a question of debating and proposing solutions to entrepreneurs and bosses who have to face the American, Chinese, Russian models, and answer the eternal question: can Europe assert itself and believe in its destiny? At a time when an armed conflict is on Europe's doorstep, when inflation is returning, when the question of energy supply is weakening our economies, what Europe do we want? How can Europe be sovereign? Source: MEDE

With just over 13% of the active population (25.5% for Germany, 19.7% for Italy) and a contribution of only 14% to GDP (32% in Germany), industry French has experienced an almost constant decline. Two jobs out of three in the French industrial sector are relocated (52% in the United Kingdom, 38% across the Rhine). To regain its strategic independence, what levers does France have? How to find colors in a globalized and highly competitive economy? Masks, semiconductors… how to bring them back to France?
